Ferrari have pledged not to ease up despite Michael Schumacher's dominant display in Hungary which clinched his fourth Formula One title.

Schumacher now leads the championship by 43 points from David Coulthard, while the one-two for Ferrari ensured they took the constructors' crown for the third successive year, with McLaren a distant second and under threat from the Grove-based BMW Williams team.

Schumacher captured his fourth title with a start-to-finish victory, finishing 3.3 seconds clear of team-mate Rubens Barrichello, with Coulthard completing the podium.

It was his seventh win of the season and the 51st of his illustrious career to equal the record set by Frenchman Alain Prost, another four-time champion.

Ferrari's sporting director Jean Todt said: "People didn't think we would be motivated this season after what happened last season. But we still have plenty of motivation."

Although runners-up spot would be no consolation for Coulthard he is determined to end a season on a high.

He said: "I don't feel any less motivated to win the last four races of the year. I want to win GPs. That's the motivation. That's why we all push ourselves. I don't feel any emotion for finishing second. I only want to win."

Williams' Ralf Schumacher was fourth, Mika Hakkinen fifth in the second McLaren, with the Sauber of Nick Heidfeld sixth.

Eddie Irvine went off at the first corner, while Jenson Button spun out in his Enstone-built Benetton on lap 35.
